​

I was born in El Salvador, the smallest country on the American continent. I moved to China in my early 20's, where I lived for 28 years, and from there I traveled the world, having been to 30 countries, and experienced the world's wealth of different cultures. I learned from many amazing people in every country I lived in or visited. In 2020, I moved to Europe, where I continue to enrich my cross-cultural experience.

​

I believe that every human can become anything he or she wants as long as he or she makes a decision, follows a structured plan, and takes action to achieve his or her goals in life.

 

My passion for human behavior started at the time I was about six years of age, the same time I started my life in sports; ever since I have observed it, studied it, analyzed it within different contexts, and explained it. I apply my knowledge of human behavior in every corner of my life, and it has been the inspiration for creating BKOME. In a sense, this methodology is a positive behavioral change program leading to creating the ideal self both physically and mentally.

​

After about ten years in the making, a lifetime in sports, and over forty years of observing and studying Human Behavior, this program came to life in 2017 while I was living in Shanghai. My hope is for many people to benefit from the practices and methodologies provided through BKOME.

"I've spent my life, observing, studying, and analyzing human behavior, and devising ways to help people overcome the obstacles that prevent them from living fully. To do that, I've combined principles of behavioral science, cognitive-behavioral psychology, neuroscience, and sports".

 

"My quest is to help people improve their performance in every sense, hence living a happy life, and my true belief is that only a multitude of healthy individuals can create and sustain healthy societies."
